Please check with me for Blammo criteria
Certainly not for league goals.

He's like Heskey
A '20 goal a season striker' is just a standard way of saying a regular goalscorer. Nobody's obsessed with it, nobody is going to use bang on 20 as the metric and think anything less is a failure, it's just a bit of a throwaway line to sum up what people want in a centre forward. Not sure why everything needs to be massively overanalysed these days.
Calvert-Lewin does not look to me like he will ever score a lot of goals, he looks like the type of player who'll be a nuisance and play his part for the team, but not be particularly clinical. No issue with that really, but it would definitely help to have someone who can bag regularly and help us put games to bed.

Therein lies the problem is it worth starting him or just use him as a sub now and then?

I seem to remember us not being able to get out of our half. Lucky Crouch went for gold instead of going to the corner flag.
I agree. Yet we get excited when we’re linked with players who’ve got 13-15 goals in the Spanish league for example.
The problem for me is that he doesn’t get into enough goalscoring positions. His movement in the box isn’t good enough. We’d be much more dangerous as a team with someone with clever movement up front.

The top five clubs had a player or 2 that hit 20 goals, the rest didnt.
You might want to check that.
Indeed, only 4 Strikers broke 20 goals last season and 2 of them played for Liverpool.
Lots of people wanted Jimenez and he scored 13. Lacazette 13. Think people underestimate how uncommon 20+ is for lots of players. That’s 4 players in an entire league last season.
4, 3, 3, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 0, 5.
Thats how many times a player has scored more than 20 goals in the last 10 years.

That’s exactly the point, to be elite and genuinely compete for CL spots you need the top level strikers who can win games with goals, which explains why the only forwards who consistently score 20+ a season play for the teams who compete
In other words, don’t expect anything better than 7th with DCL starting every game
Playing a full season I think any striker that we have, that is deemed good enough should be getting over 12 league goals. With richy and siggy getting double figures it gives you a good chance of accumulating points. We simply drop to many points against teams that we are better than on the day. How many times we walk away and think “ we were unlucky today” heaps and it does my head in
